- IgG testing provides insights into an individual’s prior exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19 and the potential for protective immunity, which ultimately may help to identify people who may be able to resume work and other daily activities in society. While the role of antibodies in preventing COVID-19 disease has yet to be established, antibody testing for other respiratory illnesses (SARS, flu) provides insight into immunity to future diseases.
- IgG antibody testing should not be used to diagnose active infection, and symptomatic patients should always be diagnosed using a molecular COVID-19 test.
Note: This test Has been authorized by the FDA under an EUA for use by authorized laboratories. Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in contact with the virus. Follow-up testing with a molecular diagnostic should be considered to rule out infection in these individuals.
Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status. Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non–SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as HKU1, NL63, OC43, or 229E.
